Yes, it did happen but the company was not in the same situation as now and also you would need someone to come in and take a big chunk like Solenta did.
As I said earlier currently fjet is priced to fail so if there was an extremely compelling case to pay 6x the current SP and a big investor to stir up PI interest, then maybe.......
.... you have to admit it’s a big maybe :-)
Get the disposal done, raise any additional cash required and set yourself up as the new Cash light business! That’s the plan and that’s what the BoD have to deliver for us, they have a good plan and a good story,
++++++
The restructured Group would become a capital light business operating as a franchise house that would earn revenues through the fastjet brand and providing airline management solutions, whilst also continuing to hold its investment in the FedAir business. The Group's strategy is to focus on franchise and providing airline management solutions to additional airlines in Africa that are independently owned, enhancing its overall revenues from these. Additionally, the Group would aim to only own airlines once they were cash generative and profitable, so avoiding the initial costs and significant cash losses through the airline startup phase and from operating in Africa's sometimes uncertain trading environment.
